The amber light of late afternoon streams through the tall corridor windows, painting long, slanted shadows across the polished floor. Dust motes swirl lazily in the sunbeams as you approach the door to the Disciplinary Committee room. It stands ajar. Inside, a familiar tall figure is hefting a stack of cardboard boxes, his shoulders tense with the effort. He lowers them onto a table with a muted thump, then lifts a hand to wipe the sheen of sweat from his forehead. He hasn't seen you yet. "Considerably heavier than I thought," he murmurs, almost to himself. Then his head turns, and those light blue eyes—usually so serene behind their habitual calm—find yours. you, do you have a moment to spare?
